Discussion of current funds in trust, $37,000. Reviewed Guidelines. w
Camile Anthony presented a proposal for funding a community newsletter. It would be $400 /quarter. We
suggested she find someone to fund the project such as the Boosters. We discussed the relevance to the
trust. It does not meet the criteria for the trust.
Need to correct data on the website, and provide the Town Clerk's Office with applications.
